Desserts
Add a fabulous finale to any meal with desserts prepared in
your pressure cooker. Pressure cooking gives an even texture to
pudding and a satiny feel to custards.
Desserts may be prepared in oven-safe custard cups or any
metal mold which will fit loosely in the steamer basket in the
pressure cooker. Fill molds only 2 ⁄3 full to allow for expansion
of food. Cover securely with aluminum foil shaped to the sides
of the mold. Place the steamer basket in the cooker. Up to four
custard cups of dessert can be pressure cooked at a time. Place
two custard cups in the steamer basket. Then, stack the other two
custard cups opposite the bottom two custard cups.
To test custards for doneness, insert a knife into the center. If the
knife comes out clean, it is done. If not, it will be necessary to
bring the cooker back up to pressure and cook the custard a minute
or two longer.
Do not cook applesauce, cranberries, or rhubarb in the pressure
cooker.
FOR DESSERTS, DO NOT FILL
PRESSURE COOKER OVER 2 ⁄3 FULL!
